Drupal 4.7.x

I am doing a migration of a community website over to Drupal and have come up against a problem that does not seem solvable. The amount of users and nodes is too large for the Watchdog and the Cache queries. It seems that upon logging on that the creation of the user menu to cache and the watchdog exceeds the MySQL max_allowed_packets. Thus the watchdog table cannot be locked. The same applies to the cache table.

Besides sitting a tinkering with MySQL is this something that has been addressed in later versions of Drupal? Does 5.x or 6.x suffer from the same failing?

Hello,

The user registration setting is that the user has to wait for admin approval. Ion the meantime he gets a message and therfore gets our email address, and so can send spam or use our email address to send spam to others.

So I'd like to disable the sending of this message. So only a welcome message would be sent to approved users.

How do i do that?

Many thanks in advance,

Hi,

How do i get rid off the timezone and start time from content.
At the top of every type of content i have something like the following:

Start: Jul 15 2007 - 1:07pm
Timezone: Indian/Cocos

What do i do to not make these statements appear as part of my content?

Thanks
Sameer

ps: I had posted this as an Events issue, but nobody responded. Please help me out!

Hi,

I wanted to know to if its possible to add all the users on the website to every users buddy list by default.
if yes, how do i do it?

Or, if i can make the who's online block act as a buddy list. As in any user can click on the name of the people online and chat with them.

Thanks

Sameer

I have MAMP running on my local testing server and I opened a backup of my actual site onto it (all databases and files)... It works perfect in browser, but when I try to run Apache Bench I have problems

No matter what URL (Drupal Clean, Path Clean or simply unclean) I use for any of my drupal pages I am always returned a "Test aborted after 10 failures" message.

On the other hand, any single page of my Vbulletin forum, even ones with arguments in the URL works perfectly...

Whats going on, what am i doing wrong?!

Can anyone provide me feedback on how to set up the user login to only require a password and not a username. I can only seem to find info on how to turn off the user block or create fully customizable login pages. I am just trying to simplify the login for a site that needs only a minor level of security for access to certain pages.

Any tips or information would be greatly appreciated.
